CD IN STOCK. ORDER NOW. Will ship immediately.

Two of the U.S.'s finest architects of acoustic music combine with Väsen, three new-traditionalists from Sweden for a recording that stretches the boundaries of folk music.

notes

This cd reflects the changing face of folk music. When two premier
architects of instrumental acoustic music in America, Darol Anger and Mike
Marshall, are able to connect with three like-minded new-traditionalists
from Sweden, Väsen, you know that you are living in a very different world.
It could be that the term “folk music” may actually need a new definition.

All five virtuosos have been pushing the envelope on their respective
instruments for over twenty years, and have successfully created a body of
work that reflects this never-ending quest for new sounds. All are deeply
rooted in the traditional music of their past, while also being hell-bent on
composing music that reflects that ever widening influence and access that
the new global/musical/digital landscape has opened up to us all.

    This music is the most inspirational folk music I've ever heard.It contains memorable melodies,great rhythms and beautiful harmonious string sounds.I can hear Mediaeval sounds,bluegrass sounds mixed with Swedish folk elements,Irish/Scottish traditional sounds as well as some Latin/Greek sounds. Amazing! Love it!

    I've admired Anger and Marshall for decades, but truly enjoyed the wonderful skills of Vasen who were new to me.
